Each year, we are excited to meet outstanding leaders and their teams who attend TEDxPeachtree to connect with others and inspire their staff. This year, we were grateful to get to talk with Linda Beyea after the event to hear about her experience.

I lead the innovation program at the American Arbitration Association. While our organization has existed for 88 years, we recognize the importance of changing and adapting to better serve our customers. Looking at trends and developments in other industries is a powerful way to stimulate ideas for innovations in your own industry. TEDxPeachtree is the perfect opportunity for our Atlanta Innovation Team to hear the ideas and experiences of several outstanding speakers from a variety of backgrounds.

Connection and conversation are key to nurturing innovation, and the TEDxPeachtree event allows our team to connect with like-minded people we might not otherwise meet in our day-to-day business. Our team regularly seeks opportunities to get out of the office and into the field to open our minds and gain fresh insight into how we can better serve our customers. TEDxPeachtree had been on our wish-list for a field trip, and we knew that we would be inspired!

Linda Beyea is a Vice President with the American Arbitration Association, the world’s leading provider of alternative dispute resolution services.
